Sculptors have different techniques that they
used in order to achieve their work. They
are known as subtraction, construction, substitution or manipulation. In the text Sporre describes these methods in
great depth. The first one Sporre talks
about is subtraction it usually begins with a large block, made of wood or
stone and the sculptor starts to cut away the unwanted material (70). Subtraction is also known as carving; the
artist subtracts away solid material to get it to the desired form. Once the artist is ready to starting
sculpturing him or she carves about three inches of the work with the help of
tools and begins cutting out the material to its form and finishes by polishing
it. The video below will show all the methods of sculpture.
